Show off your printer setup. I have a Da vinci 1.0A.
It's the elephant in the room. (Giant white thing in on the left w/ the green rag)

Is that to stop morphing when printing?

It helps to keep the heat inside for when I am printing ABS and it's mainly used to clean up the watery glue. I put glue on to make the print stick and then to clean it I pour water straight on the bed to loosen up the glue. Then I use the "scraper" to finish the job.

Is this your first 3D printer? What are you looking to do with it. You can get a lot down with a scrap build with better quality too.

I have a rostock max v2 with a e3d v6 hotend. Pretty great printer. has a huge build area and with a .25mm nozzle can print at a 0.01mm layer height.

 

I attached some pics of prints that i have gotten off it. Lets see how this works on the new forum.

Is the E3D v6 good? I was thinking of buying it with the fun pack.

I love it. Feeds everything i throw at it near perfectly including soft materials like nylon. Easy to clean and maintain as well. Takes about 30 seconds to swap nozzles and then all you need to do is set z and tell the software the new nozzle size. I would highly recommend it.

Hello everyone, here is my printer in progress:

I do not have my heated bed yet, and I have to combat the damn Z wobble, but I am getting really good prints so far:

Absolutely brilliant. Heats up fast, has a bowden flavor, uses really high quality parts, comes with a pack of haribo gummy bears when you buy from filastruder, I love it.

Woah, print quality on point

Here is my Ultimaker Original featuring the 280mm V-tail frame I printed on it. Parts are on the way, should I do a build log?

I started working on it last night when the majority of the parts arrived. If I have time tonight, I'll post my progress so far.
